I've definitively seen permission denied errors earlier in the (rather
noisy) build log.  But I absolutely do not feel comfortable changing
global security policies for a kernel build, especially for something
like ImageMagic that had its fair share of security issues.  Is there any
way to side step this by using a different tool?
